Yes it was through a email on Facebook that I was hacked.

Manthy,

I wanted to ask you: Did your hacker manage to hack the account through Facebook?

Unfortunately, the problems I described are really common, especially for women on-line. Bloggers and people in tech professions seem to have a lot of problems. But, I got my stalker from a static site (as opposed to a blog, a forum a chatroom or a site like Facebook where you interact with other people, which are far more commons sources.)

I, also, started getting a bunch of weird phone calls all at once a few months ago. I have Magic Jack, so I just went and got another device. Only a couple of people have the number, now.

I've been experiencing a rash of hacking, stalking and fraud lately. So, I know exactly what you mean.

I got a stalker who posed as a freelance web design client. The guy was from another state and actually came to try to find me. He seemed to get frustrated when he couldn't figure out exactly where I live. But, you never know about a stalker - they're unpredictable.

I lost tons of work. I spent weeks pulling down info., then finally whole sites in a panic. I've decided not to freelance anymore because of it. I'm strictly writing now. My whole life has been almost completely destroyed by criminals, it seems.

Plus, I have another local stalker (former co-worker)and an ex to worry about. I've had problems with the phones and e-mail.

What I've done to try to stop it is just kill all of my e-mail addresses that I had. I no longer make them public. Only a few people have them.

Needless to say, I've been a nervous wreck lately. It can really wreak havoc on your life. Especially when the damage is financial or starts spilling over into the real world.

Great article! Voting up!

Yeah it is horrible when you get hacked atleast you caught em b4 they really got you.

I got hacked one time on an online banking account! I was just always checking my balance, then outta nowhere around $250.00 came out thru some kind of check cashing thru internet deal. Ofcourse I had to shut everything down and start over. Needless to say I don't bank online now!!!!! No telling I could be hacked now too! It's frustrating! Good Luck

This is just where I blew off some steam after I got hacked, I think you would know if you were hacked.

I couldn't even get my CPU to turn on, but some of the programs are stealth, so you never know

I may have been hacked, I really don't know. I have had a computer since 2004 and I still don't understand alot about it.

It is very frustrating.

You know Mentalist it is funny you should say that because I had signed up for LastPass but I had to cancel my account because I couldn't log into it, right before I got hacked, I've probally been hacked for months and just din't know it, who knows - All I know is it is very frustrating when you get hacked

There's also a free service called LastPass(an encryption service)You file a Master Password(a complex one) and they root through your passworded sites and encrypt then from then on automatically log you in.Watch their video.;)
